    I have watched other videos and you have been by far the most descriptive about how to install for someone who do not know how to, this is very basic. I wish more people would keep things as basic but very descriptive to DIY, so it can be done just with your guide. Very well done video. I look forward to seeing what else you have instructions on.

    Hey great video as always between this and the Rothley I’m torn between which one I should get. Between the Rothley ii and the original Rothley which would you recommend and why? Thanks!

    • @ceilingfans101
      @ceilingfans101  2 роки тому

      Thanks for watching. It really comes down to personal preference. The major difference is the original Rothley has a flush mount option, so if you need to flush mount the fan with no downrod, go with the original. I personally prefer the more streamlined look of the Rothley II and the updated blade finishes. Other than that, the performance numbers (RPM, CFM) are comparable between both. On paper, the original Rothley has slightly better CFM at high speed (+18), but not so much that you would actually feel the difference.

    On my house wiring, there was a black and red wire. What is the red wire for?

    • @ceilingfans101
      @ceilingfans101  6 місяців тому

      If you are not sure about wiring, we have to suggest contacting a licensed electrician. That being said, a red wire is typically a switch wire. If that is the case, you can use the red wire instead of the house black wire, or use the red wire to power the light (fan blue wire).

  • @dottiemorgan208
    @dottiemorgan208 4 роки тому +1

    I have an extra wire (red) from my existing fan. We have two wall switches. One operates the light and the other the fan. I wasn’t sure what to do with the red wire so I twisted it together with the blue and black wires.
    After completing installation I quickly figured out this is incorrect as everything switches on/off together and now I need to use the pull cord to turn the light off while sleeping, if I want the fan on. Where is this red wire from housing supposed to connect to?

    • @monicahill171
      @monicahill171 4 роки тому +6

      Great news, we figured it out. You connect the black wire to the black ceiling wire, the blue wire to the red ceiling wire, the white to the white ceiling wire, etc.
      This will allow you to control your fan and light from the wall switches.

    My fan switch chain is stuck when I tighten center nut. Can you help? Installing this model.

    • @ceilingfans101
      @ceilingfans101  Рік тому

      Make sure that the pull chains are routed through the bowl plate as shown at the 12:27 mark. Also, before doing that, see if the pull chains operate properly before installing the glass. The finial should not affect the pull chain in any way. If this does not resolve the issue, we would suggest calling Hampton Bay customer service at 1-855-434-2678. Their team is pretty good at troubleshooting over the phone. They will also be able to send any replacement parts if necessary.

      @@ceilingfans101 Thanks for replying. I had triple checked the routing through the light bowl plate slot. Solution was strange. Instead of routing the fan speed chain through the slot below & closest to the chain output on the side of the housing I routed the chain through a slot adjacent to that slot and it worked - chain didn't get bound up.

    A good video though I thought he would have shown how to do the close mount installation too... I've had mine sitting for over a year, there's another video on here that does do that, not that I really need it and it was nice of him to show how to do it get rid of the light kit if someone should want that..

    • @ceilingfans101
      @ceilingfans101  3 роки тому

      Thanks for watching. The flush mount option is not included with this fan. We tend to do the videos to follow the installation guides as closely as possible. While technically, this fan may be able to be installed without the downrod, it does not include the necessary grommet that would go between the motor and canopy. These videos are basic guides and we try not to stray too far from the included directions.

      @313marc2 3 роки тому +1

      To do the close mount:
      1. Attach canopy (?) to fan body with 3 off the screws at the top of the fan motor body.
      2. After attaching the mounting bracket thing to the ceiling/junction box, hang the fan on the spike that where the roof usually hangs from. (Hang the fan from the screw hole on the canopy)
      3. Connect wires
      4. Screw canopy into mounting bracket.

    If there is an extra red wire included to all the other wires what do i do

    • @ceilingfans101
      @ceilingfans101  8 місяців тому

      If you are not sure about wiring, we have to suggest calling a licensed electrician to ensure that the wiring is connected correctly. That being said, a red house wire is typically a switch wire. If that is the case and the switchis a standard on/off toggle style switch, you have a few installation options. 1. Connect the fan's black and blue wires to the house black wire and cap off the house red wire. This will allow you to control the fan with the pull chains like a standard fan. 2. you can connect the fan's black wire (speed power) to the house black wire and the fan's blue wire (light power) to the red house wire. This would allow you to turn just the light on or off using a switch. If installed like this, you could replace the switch with a dimming switch to dim the lights (you'd need to replace the bulbs with dimmable bulbs). 3. If the switch is a standard on/off toggle switch, you could connect the fan's black and blue wires to the red wire and cap off the house black wire. This would allow you to turn the fan and light on/off simultaneously.

    Mine is older I think I have a square connector with a black ground wire can’t figure out where the black wire connects to

    • @ceilingfans101
      @ceilingfans101  2 роки тому

      We are sorry to hear that you are having this issue. This fan and the original Rothley have a 3-wire connection - Black (fan speed power), blue (light power) and white (neutral). There are green ground wires from the mounting bracket and downrod as well, but no square connectors. In general, black wires are power wires and ground wires are either bare copper wire or green (sometimes green/yellow). If you're not sure about your wiring, we would suggest calling a licensed electrician to help you out to make sure the fan is wired correctly. Your fan may also have a sticker on top of the motor housing that should have the model number and UPC. You can use those numbers to search online for a manual for your fan. Or post the model and UPC here and we can see what we can find.

    At what pitch do you need the dow rod extention

    • @ceilingfans101
      @ceilingfans101  3 роки тому

      The downrod extension depends on the angle and height of the ceiling. The ceiling fan should be instaled so that the blades are between 8-9 feet from the floor and the length of the downrod would be determined by the height and angle of the ceiling You just want to make sure that the blades have at least one foot of clearance between the end f the blades and the lowest point of the ceiling angle.
